It still doesn’t seem real when watching a Dallas Mavericks game and you see Klay Thompson in one of their uniforms.
In my mind, Thompson’s career was supposed to end with the Golden State Warriors. However, the Splash Brothers heading into the sunset to end their careers together won’t be the scenario we get.

Thompson seems to be enjoying his time with the Mavericks. The sharpshooter is also now a part of a sports power couple.
Yes, since it was known that Thompson and musician Megan Thee Stallion were officially dating, the two have been seen a lot more in the public eye.

Recently, Thompson was hilariously put on blast by Megan when he was late picking her up at the airport.
Nice Touch

The “blasting” wasn’t meant for shame. It was actually a nice moment between the two. But Thompson really made up for being late by sliding in with the roses.

Maybe Megan needs a guy with severe anxiety who would show up to the airport four hours late in fear of being late. Is this me shooting my shot? Absolutely not. Remember, I have severe anxiety.

Let’s just hope this didn’t put Thompson in the doghouse. However, the roses are the real MVP in this situation.
